The *Official* New Tool Thread

What were RTech like to deal with, Vinnie?
A man of your many talents, you'll be flying it in no time.
Really nice to be able to do steel and Alu.

 

They were very helpful and fast delivery to went for it as good reviews free foot pedal and 3 years warranty looked at the parweld as I have the mig but more money and no foot pedal

 

Hope it doesn't get much use, but saw it planked in amongst a cheap bundle of other tools on eBay... of cam cover sticker fame, on the look out for the matching shim pliers now.

 

Jealous!!!

 

Make no mistake Sam is the connoisseur of Snap-On Snobbery - the closest I have come to Snap-On tools is when I see their vans go by.

 

Sam are you sure you are not a Snap on salesman trying a bit of free advertising?

 

Went from my Heritage addition to the bigger Snap-on box.

I've also bought into Milwaukee M12 big time now at work and home.

Dread to think what I've spent in tools over they years lol..

Was a bit sad to trade in the Heritage Box, bought that before my first house.

 

I'm a Milwaukee fan boy too. The m12 right angle die grinder , and m12 stubby 3/8 socket gun are my two favourite tools.

 

I've got 2 Cuttoff tools (one converted to a powerfile), 2 3/8th Stubby Impact guns, 1/4 Short Ratchet (use this most out of all), 3/8th Long Ratchet, 2 Straight Die Grinders, a 90 degree Die Grinder (use this for RoLock disks), Combi Drill, Tyre Inflator, Tripod LED Floodlight, Heated Hoodie and probably more I've forgotten about!.

Just bought a 4 Bay charger.

Never had a bad M12 tool.

I have a 14.4v Snap-on right angled Drill but when my old Nicad Snap-on tools started playing up I decided to go over to Milwaukee M12.

The Hi Torque M18 1/2 looks good but can't justify it for the little use it would get, the M12 3/8ths Impact gun is amazing really, even with a 6ah battery it's nice and light.

It's great Milwaukee have kept to the same battery platforms, all my stuff is Fuel Brushless but all the old brushed tools would still work.

 

This was a conversion kit I bought off ebay, but Milwaukee have now released their own Cuttoff Powerfile which looks nigh on identical.

 

Durnnit , there's something else I have to buy.
